Perspective - Season 2 Episode 19 Arctic Essay: 2 - Invasion from the South
Man's exploration of the Canadian Arctic was initially to discover the Northwest Passage, a shorter possible trade route between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans than had existed at the time. While many men died in that quest, the passage was eventually discovered and traversed in the early twentieth century. In many of the obstacles of Arctic marine travel having been overcome in subsequent decades, one of the last obstacles was making the trek via larger ships, the HMCS Labrador one of the first to do so. This film follows the Labrador on one of its more recent voyages, largely a research and fact finding mission to determine the viability of certain economic endeavors in the region, such as fishing. The expedition is also to establish infrastructure in the Arctic to make sailing its waters for the Labrador and other vessels easier in the future.
